SPS HEAD COMMITTEE - PRESS RELEASE

The Executive Committee of the Socialist Party of Serbia
supported unanimously on its today's session a plan of further
activities to protect life of President Slobodan Milosevic, whose
health has been seriously damaged by the so-called Hague Tribunal
using exhausting rhythm of the process and inhumane life conditions.
Members and organs of SPS on all levels will perform strongest
actions in order to secure for President Milosevic to get back to
Yugoslavia for medical therapy and preparation for the extension of
his struggle for the truth.

The Executive Committee supports the organization of the
protest rally, on invitation of the National Committee "Sloboda"
(Freedom), which will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 03:00 p.m.
on the Republic Square in Belgrade, on the occasion of the visit of
the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. All SPS members and all citizens
are invited to take part and to express clearly the demand to stop
the crime against Slobodan Milosevic.

Starting from the fact that DOS regime prevented the
candidacy of President Slobodan Milosevic, who has the largest
respect and support of the people and underlying that the policy of
peoples' unity, advocated for years by SPS, is the only policy
capable to return freedom and prospective to the people, the
Executive Committee in agreement with President Milosevic adopted a
position that Dr Vojislav Seselj has to be supported as common
candidate of the opposition. In adoption of this position, has also
been taken into account the fact that Dr Vojislav Seselj publicly
accepted to act as a common candidate of the patriotic opposition, on
the basis of the policy of peoples' unity.

Na danasnjoj sednici Izvrsnog odbora Glavnog odbora
Socijalisticke partije Srbije jednoglasno su usvojeni stavovi
i aktivnosti za zastitu zivota Predsednika Slobodana
Milosevica, cije je zdravlje ozbiljno ugrozeno od strane tzv.
haskog tribunala, iscrpljujucim procesom i nehumanim uslovima.
Clanovi i organi SPS na svim nivoima delovace najaktivnije
kako bi Predsedniku Milosevicu sto pre bilo omoguceno da u
nasoj zemlji i na slobodi sanira svoje zdravstveno stanje i
pripremi se za nastavak borbe za istinu.

IO GO SPS podrzava organizovanje protestnog skupa,
koji ce, na poziv Nacionalnog komiteta "Sloboda", biti orzan u
utorak, 19. novembra u 15:00 casova na Trgu Republike u
Beogradu, povodom dolaska u Beograd Generalnog sekretara OUN
Kofi Anana. Pozivaju se svi clanovi SPS i svi gradjani da
ucestvuju i jasno izraze zahtev da se zaustavi zlocin nad
Slobodanom Milosevicem.

Polazeci od cinjenice da je DOS-ov rezim onemogucio
da Predsednik Slobodan Milosevic, kao licnost sa najvecim
ugledom i podrskom u narodu, bude kandidat na predsednickim
izborima, a isticuci da je politika narodnog jedinstva koju
SPS godinama zastupa, jedina politika koja narodu moze
povratiti slobodu i perspektivu, IO GO SPS je u dogovoru sa
Predsednikom Milosevicem zauzeo stav da treba podrzati dr
Vojislava Seselja kao zajednickog kandidata opozicije. Pritom
se imalo u vidu i da je dr Vojislav Seselj javno prihvatio da
nastupa kao zajednicki kandidat patriotske opozicije, na
osnovama politike narodnog jedinstva.
